tom miller, i'm going to start with you. how certain are you that craigslist was being used widely and extensively for this sort of illegal activity? this wasn't just isolated incidents. >> this was not isolated incidents at all. we were quite certain . it was broadly used. a reporter at cnn put an ad on of this kind and got 15 responses in three hours. we talked to constituents. we looked at craigslist. it was clear that it was massive in terms of the opportunity for prostitution. it's not just prostitution. it's human trafficking. the terrible, terrible abuse of children. so whatever efforts that they were making to keep people off that would do these things, they were failing. maybe necessarily were failing. but it was clear, i think, to most everybody that this was a huge source of the information that leads to prostitution and in some cases human trafficking. >> woodruff: john miller, do you dispute that that's what's been going on at craigslist? >> no. it's probably pretty likely these ads were for prostitution. the qu

jonathan miller of "independent television news" has covered the disaster from the start. in tonight's report, he revisits a town on the swat river, where many are still in desperate need of help. >> reporter: northwest pakistan's drying out now, post- deluge. parts of it look like a war zone. tens of thousands have been uprooted. we've come back to see what difference the hundreds of millions of pounds pledged in flood aid has made to their lives. shortly after the flood hit, we went to chek hisara, a village leveled by the raging swat river. 5,000 people were perched in a forlorn, makeshift camp on some high ground, hungry and desperate. no one, they told me, had come to their rescue. the rain may have stopped now but the camp looked just as it did when we'd left it. they'd found some more u.n. tents, but the u.n. hasn't actually been here they said and neither, they insisted, had anyone else apart from an islamist charity which provided some food for a while. the man in the green here lost his wife in the flood. she was swept away and he never even found her body. but a
